first 5 carolina years, kinda: 31, 20, 25 (projected,) 33, 18
next three years, not so much: 28, 37, 24

then 40 in buffalo and 14 last year

of note, during his worst seasons (18, 14) he had an identical 7.7% shooting percentage

skinners biggest problem is his defensive shortcomings...offense is always there but sometimes they just don't go in

One dimensional offense when he is on and shoots accurately but he is not a passer, set up or even a sniper, PP player. He is who he is and not my cup of tea nor Carolina's or any other team in the league when they were shopping him. When the top piece they got was a 2nd round pick in a package of lower picks the market wasn't there for him either but it sure is on this site for some reason. I guess many years of little offense 36 goals in 57 games will enamor you with some and then 18 goals since will be overlooked.

Are we forgetting he had a NTC and vetoed trades to two different WC teams?

You’re being a tad hyperbolic here

My cousin's father lives next to Ralph. My cousin met Nick Bonino a few years ago in Pittsburgh.

We'll wait and see if that trade comes to fruition. If it does, you'll know why.

Think it depends on how much Adams, Crowe and Nightingale really try to bring in players that fit where there suppose to, instead of a square into a round hole.

And if they can spend to the cap or not...

I really want that to not be true.

Finding players that fit is more important than spending to the cap. I'd rather be a budget team with a well oiled machine than whatever the (frank)'s been on the ice the past 10 years.

I think it depends on what Adams gets involved in trade and UFA wise, the Pegula's do trust him.

Sorry. Like I said. I'm not spending the time again. You can think he's useless without Jack. I really couldn't give any more sh1ts. I've proven you're wrong with data, several times. If you want to ignore it, fine by me.

Good point and for sure. Worried Adams won't be able to do much if they're intent on a $72m cap.

Skinner, 26, is coming off a subpar season by his standards. His 24 goals and 49 points were his fewest since the 2014-15 season, and his minus-27 rating was a career low. But he played in all 82 games and has 379 career points in 579 career games.



The 2011 Calder Trophy winner as the league’s top rookie, Skinner is due to make $6 million this upcoming season then hit the open market. The Hurricanes confirmed in May that they had discussed Skinner in trade talks with other teams, and the Chicago Blackhawks reportedly checked in on the possibility of trading for Skinner last month.

“With Jeff becoming an unrestricted free agent next summer, this was the right time for us to move on, and to provide Jeff with a fresh start in Buffalo,” Carolina general manager Don Waddell told the media. “We talked to every team in the league over the past four months, and ultimately the Sabres were the team that provided us with the best value in return, including three picks and a prospect we like in Cliff Pu.”

He was looking to make money in his next contract don't you think he would have gone to a team that would help him do that instead of just life near home for a year? Do you think he saw Buffalo as the only team that would or could do that? If they talked to every team in the league they must have really wanted to ditch him and and also had some info from him and his agent to try to get a deal done.

That day, nor today, provided proof that the Sabres were in on Zucc. And even if they were, who gives a poop, he sucks.

He continually ignores that data in that article. Don't waste your time.

I can't give games, but 48% of Reinhart's 5v5 time has been away from Eichel. So.... a little under 200 games worth.
